Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 2, 1906.

Application filed February 2&1905; Serial No. 247.038;

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM HOLSTEIN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Independent Steam- Heat Radiators, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to steam-heat radiators and the object is to provide steam heat for residences and other places where heat is required and where there is no system of steam-piping connected with a boiler and furnace, thus makin it possible to furnish steam heat without t e expense of erecting a furnace, boiler, 'andpiping to furnish steam heat throughout the building.

In order to accomplish my purpose, I construct a steam-heat radiator which may be furnished with heat for boiling the water therein from any foreign source of heat such, for instance, as a gasolene, coal-oil, or gas burner. The latter may (when desired) be connected with my device by a flexible tube. It is therefore obvious that this device may be moved to any desired room-or part of the building usefulness as a heater.

The construction of my device will fully appear by reference to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and in which like letters represent like parts.

Figure 1 is a finished view of my device in perspective, showing the application thereto of a burner situated under my radiator for the use of gasolene or coal-oil as fuel and a receptacle to hold the same. This view also shows a pipe for the purpose of connection with'a chimney to carry off any fumes which may arise from the burner. This view also shows a water-gage, air-valve, and heating device. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken on line 2 2 in Fig. 1, showing two receptaclesone at the upper and the other at the lower part thereof'integrally connected by tubin In the upper receptacle is shown a funne -shaped disk, the outer circumference thereof nearly filling the receptacle and fitting around a tube which forms the wall of' the orifice through which the chimney-pipe is passed. To this funnel-shaped disk I attach a pipe which passes down through the bottom of the upper receptacle and through the top of the lower receptacle to a point very near the bottom of said lower receptacle. Said bottom receptacle is filled with without impairing its ends of the tubes which integrally connect said upper and .lower receptacles, respectively, also the perforation through which the condensation-tube, which is connected with the funnel-shaped disk, passes down to and below the water-line in the bottom receptacle. This tube is sealed steam and water tight with-the upper and lower receptacles. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the lower receptacle. Fig. 5 is a tube with a convex disk-shaped crown to be inserted in the orifice in the center of the bottom of the lower receptacle to give indirect passage for fumes that may arise from the heating device and also concentrate the heat by deflection on the bottom of the lower receptacle.

A is the upper receptacle.

B represents the connecting-tubes.

C is the bottom receptacle.

D is a funnel-shaped disk.

E is a tube connected with said funnelshaped disk, which extends down through the bottom of the top receptacle and also through the top of the bottom receptacle and below the water-line therein.

F F represent the heating device and receptacle for the burning fiuld.

G is a water-gage.

H is an inlet to fill the bottom receptacle with water.

I is the water.

J is a p'pe to carry off fumes from the heatin device.

is an air-valve.

L is a tube with a convex disk-shaped crown.

I do not desire to be limited to any prescribed form for the body of my heaters, as their use may require different forms of construction to fit in certain spaces which may be assigned to them where they are used.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In independent steam-heat radiators the combination of two receptacles integrally connected by tubes and a funnel-shaped disk in the upper receptacle, a tube connected with said disk said tube extending down and entering said lower receptacle to a point near the bottom thereof, said lower receptacle IIO supplied with water, a heating device placed under said lower receptacle, said lower receptacle supplied with a water gage, an air- Valve connected with one of the connectingtubes, substantially as described.

2. An independent steam-radiator comprising an upper receptacle and a lower receptacle joined by tubes, the upper receptacle containing a funnel-shaped disk, a condensation-tube connecting the said disk with the I0 lower receptacle, the lower receptacle adapted to contain water, a heater below the lower receptacle, and a flue for the heater, substantially as described.

I WILLIAM HOLSTEIN. Witnesses:
